...for Lenco projects, we now have some idea of what sounds good together if you are looking to go the constrained layer damping route. The very first plinth we (my son and I ) built was based on the materials as seen in the link below. Since then we've done others and the best "sounding" that we found follows the same basic process with birch ply used in place of the MDF and ISODAMP material used in place of the vinyl floor tiles. We found that the all-ply, instead of a combination of ply and MDF (but with the aluminum, sheetrock, damping material), resulted in more "life", for lack of a better term. We've used Corian in all of ours (except one) because we have a relatively cheap source. One curious thing that happened was that we found that the plinths we built without the sheetrock sounded just a tad less "dead" when drumming one's fingers on the top of the plinth when completed. The drawback is that one must use different methods for finishing the sides. Now, all of the tables for which we've built plinths sound great, including one that was ALL birch ply (with the sheets alternated for opposing grain direction). Differences are subtle between materials used, but noticeable, and maybe a matter of taste as opposed to "right" or "wrong". It is worth a try to experiment if you have the time, materials, inclination, and tools.
